Do I need to buy the power source separately or can you put batteries directly into the fan?

You can put batteries directly in the fan or buy the rechargeable CPX battery

no you can use batteries or buy the power pack. We have two power packs and they last about 5 days.

Yes, I had the same problem. You don't have to rewire your fan, just put your batteries in it and go for it! Gary

That's a good question the fan itself doesn't come with power supply and you need to have basic knowledge of electricity to properly use but given that you get the right power adapter it should be able to plug straight into a wall outlet but i didn't have much success with this product and if i could make a recommendation get the iPower GLFANXBOOSTER4 Inline Ducting Booster Fan with Cord, 4-Inch Diameter it comes with the cord and every thing and can be plugged right into the wall as well as get what you want done, done. Hope this helps you some.

Need to buy a separate source........ that is a good thing in my opinion. Most power supplies that are included suck.

Although you can wire the fan and the light separately, it is not necessary. Both can be connected to the same power source.

The fan is connected directly to the solar panel with no battery. But for me, it's good. I see no point in ventilating an area when the sun isn't heating up the place.

No. It's a small handheld fan with a wet sponge. And it's only battery or USB powered...You're better off getting a decent rotating fan or real AC.

there are better ways to do that because this unit requires a 12v. power source to operate.you could use a 12v.a.c. transformer as the power source and the off timer contacts for the fan motor.i believe this unit requires a 8 pin socket.

The fan unit is designed to operate from a 10- 15 volt DC power source, ie 3 or 4 cell lipo battery. The battery power must pass through an appropriately sized, ie 45amp, electronic speed control to generate the appropriate signal to for operating the fan motor. In theory you could convert the 120 volts AC to 12 volts DC but it would still require an ESC, and be cumbersome set-up. I would not recommend this approach.

You can do that , in fact it is a 12 volt fan . It is a very small computer size fan and does not use much electricity ,however over time it will run the battery down . I have a solar panel on my RV that keeps the battery topped off.

AC only. You would need your own inverter and a DC power source if you wanted to run on batteries.

Not necessarily...but you should. You'll need power to the fan obviously and power to the switch, but you don't need to wire the switch to the fan directly. The switch communicates (light, speed) to the fan wirelessly. The initial setup requires you to sync the switch to the fan which is done at initial power. So if separate circuits they need to come up at the same time.

This itme only works with electricty. There is no place for batteries for this fan.

Yes, the battery was included with my fan. The battery is a Nokia style phone battery , part number BL-5C. 3.7 volt 700 mAh .

Yes, you can use them but you would have to recharge them in their own charger as the fan will only recharge the built in batteries.

No, the fan can't run off batteries, at least not as is out of the box. The cord is about 3 feet long if I recall.

It is meant to charge a 12 volt battery and works well, so I would assume you would also need a battery hooked up in line that would feed the fan.
